Lotta Cash, a wealthy widow, must be on the lookout. The evil Dogsbreath Devereaux, M.D. plans to marry Lotta so he can inherit her fortune and her late husband’s clinic. Helping him is the nasty nurse, Hilda Hatchet, whom he promises to wed after he gets rid of Lotta. Wild? Well, talk about medical mania when the insanely jealous Hilda catches Dogsbreath flirting with our heroine, Wendy March. We can only hope that Dr. Phil Good, our hero, can save Wendy and the unsuspecting Lotta from certain death. With a hilarious plot, an abundance of zany patients, and catchy tunes including ’How Do You Bandage a Broken Heart?,’ ’Emergency,’ ’Do the Bop,’ plus seven more, this musical melodrama will have your audience in stitches all the way! As they say, Nurses! Foiled again!

It’s very funny... like Dudley-Do-Right sitting in a hospital emergency room in the early 1900s. Trisha Carter, Ionia High School, Ionia, MI
I loved it because it had the best character parts, and that was my best cast ever.
It was a fantastic way to introduce my students to melodrama.
